Meguki Peg: A small bamboo peg that is inserted from the side into every HAIKU knife where the tang and handle are joined for added stability.

CHROMA Haiku Damascus

CHROMA HAIKU DAMASCUS - ONLY GENUINE WITH THE FALCON

The idea was to fit the successful CHROMA HAIKU Cnife with an even better blade. Damascene blades perfectly fit the classical Japanese character of CHROMA HAIKU Cnives.

Sumikama is the foremost, and in all probability, the best, maker for Damast Kitchen Cnives in series. Sumikama provides CHROMA in Japan with unbelievably sharp blades made from 32 layer Damascus an VG-10 core steel with a hardness of HRC 59-60°.
At CHROMA in Japan, Sumikama's cnives are sharpened, polished, and mounted in Japanese Cherry Wood handles fixed in place by the signature Japanese Meguki.

We have the seven most important kitchen cnives from CHROMA HAIKU with the Damascene Blade. For almost any material you want to cut, we have the right blade.

CHROMA - Haiku Pro - Steel lives

Hand finished in Sakai - bearing the seal of the SAKAI Association.
According to old tradition, the elaborate production of CHROMA HAIKU Pro Cnives takes place in the four small, specialized workshops of Mr. Hirotsugu.

In order to make traditional SAKAI Cnives like the HAIKU Pro, Master Ebuchi Kouhei works with two types of steel: one extremely hrd. hight-carbon "Hagane" steel comprises the blade's cutting edge, while a softer steel lends support to the sharp steel blade.

The two types of steel are forged and combined together. The name "HAIKU" is hammered by hand into the blade. Thereafter, the blade receives the HAIKU Falcon. With correct care, these works of art can be passed on to subsequent generations. This cnife is not made of stainless steel and requires particular care!
